Good evening.
These four words have become the hot topic in the global martial arts world tonight.
Jiang Wuming indirectly admitted his actions against the Middle and Bart families but offered no explanation.
This night, the global martial arts world was shaken by Jiang Wuming's deeds!
This was the second serious internal conflict since the establishment of the War God Hall.
The first was more than twenty years ago, and the protagonist was Jiang Wuming's father, Jiang Zhan.
On that day, Jiang Zhan bloodbathed the War God Hall's hunting squad base, leading to a standoff between the Dragon Country martial arts world and the War God Hall. In the end, both sides stated their case, and the matter was left unresolved, but a huge rift appeared in their relationship.
"Jiang Wuming's actions tonight should be revenge for twenty years ago."
"Back then, the Dragon Country martial arts world strongly protected Jiang Zhan, but Jiang Wuming has now left the Dragon Country Military Department. Who can protect him? The City of Sin?"
"Don't forget, Jiang Wuming has already broken through to the four-star War God realm. There are not many people in this world who can kill him. Does he still need protection?"
The Divine Network forum was filled with various discussions, and people were waiting for further developments.
Almost everyone believed that this matter would not end here.
As expected, the martial arts department of the North American Alliance soon issued an announcement: Tonight, Jiang Wuming illegally entered the North American Alliance and carried out a frenzied slaughter against the Middle and Bart families, creating a bloody case that caused extremely adverse effects. The nature of the crime was severe, seriously violating the laws of the North American Alliance and the regulations of the War God Hall. He must be brought to justice!
The wording of this announcement was furious and forceful!
"The heinous executioner must pay the price in blood!"
"Jiang Wuming's actions are a declaration of war against the North American Alliance and the War God Hall!"
After the North American Alliance issued the announcement, the Middle and Bart families immediately spoke out, wanting the North American Alliance and the War God Hall to settle accounts with Jiang Wuming and avenge their deceased clansmen!
"The War God Hall is investigating the situation of Jiang Wuming's killing spree in the North American Alliance. After the investigation results are out, the matter will be dealt with seriously according to the relevant regulations of the War God Hall!"
After the North American Alliance issued the announcement, the War God Hall also released an announcement.
"We firmly support the War God Hall and severely punish the perpetrator of the bloody case!"
The Litton family, the foremost martial arts power in the country of South Australia, immediately expressed their support on the Divine Network forum after the North American Alliance and the War God Hall issued their announcements.
The family's strongest expert, Lawson, was one of those involved in the kidnapping of Li Lianyi and the hunt for Jiang Wuming, and he was also the first to be sent away by Jiang Wuming on the deserted island.
"The extraterrestrial war has reached a critical juncture, and Jiang Wuming's killing spree has caused bloodshed and undermined internal unity. He is a sinner of humanity – we firmly support the War God Hall in severely punishing Jiang Wuming!"
The Sato family of the Land of Endurance also expressed their support immediately.
The Litton family and the Sato family jumped out immediately, partly because they knew that Sato Tianyi and Lawson @ Litton had participated in the hunt for Jiang Wuming, and they feared that Jiang Wuming would come seeking revenge, following the fate of the Middle and Bart families of the North American Alliance.
It was also because South Australia and the Land of Endurance were lackeys of the North American Alliance in the secular world, and they had to express their support immediately!
Later, the five major families from the Land of India and Europe involved in this operation also issued announcements on the Divine Network forum, expressing their support for the North American Alliance and the War God Hall.
"It's unbelievable that someone hailed as a global hero would do such evil things! We strongly support the War God Hall in thoroughly investigating and handling this matter!"
"Tonight, a heartbreaking tragedy occurred in the North American Alliance, and the culprit is a hero in the hearts of many, even hailed as the future hope of the global martial arts world. It's truly ironic!"
"Half angel, half demon, which is the real Jiang Wuming?"
"No matter how great Jiang Wuming's contributions were in the extraterrestrial war, his killing behavior this time is outrageous and must be severely punished!"
…
In addition, many martial arts organizations from countries around the world also expressed their strong condemnation of Jiang Wuming's actions and demanded that the War God Hall severely punish him.
What would the War God Hall do?
For a time, the attention of the global martial arts world on this matter soared, and almost everyone wanted to know what would happen next.
However—
Before the War God Hall could announce the results of its investigation and its decision, another announcement once again sent shockwaves through the global martial arts world!
"Li Lianyi, Director of the Dragon Country War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, who, along with her team, successfully developed Gene No. 1 and made great contributions to the global martial arts world, was kidnapped the day before yesterday by Sato Tianyi of the Land of Endurance, Mark, Stanb, Mbama, Cassius, Hughes from Europe, Rossi, Joey from the North American Alliance, Lawson from Australia, and Salman from India. They were taken to a deserted island fifty nautical miles west of Los Angeles in the North American Alliance.
They held Li Lianyi hostage and forced Jiang Wuming to go to the deserted island alone, threatening to kill Li Lianyi otherwise.
Jiang Wuming went to the deserted island alone, killed Sato Tianyi and the other ten people, and successfully rescued Li Lianyi."
—Dragon Country Military Department.
"My God, is this true?"
"I think this is definitely true, otherwise the Dragon Country Military Department wouldn't have issued an official announcement."
"Back then, Jiang Zhan bloodbathed the War God Hall's hunting squad base and killed eleven martial arts geniuses from all over the world. Nine of them were the strongest martial arts geniuses from the families of the aforementioned nine people!"
"No wonder Jiang Wuming took action against the Middle and Bart families. It turns out that Rossi @ Middle and Joey @ Bart kidnapped Li Lianyi and wanted to hunt him!"
"If this is true, I support Jiang Wuming!"
"Whether it's Jiang Wuming or Li Lianyi, they have both made great contributions to the global martial arts world and even changed the course of the extraterrestrial war – they are angels, yet they are being forced to become demons. This is too infuriating!"
"That's right, these martial arts powerhouses are not contributing to the extraterrestrial war, but instead, their butcher's knives are turned against humanity's heroes and future. They deserve to die!"
…
With the announcement from the Dragon Country Military Department, public opinion completely reversed. Some people who had been furiously condemning Jiang Wuming turned to support him.
What was the truth?
However, there were also some so-called rationalists waiting for the War God Hall to announce the truth of the matter.
However—
This time, they did not wait for an announcement from the War God Hall, but instead received statements from the Middle and Bart families of the North American Alliance.
"The Middle family was not aware of everything Rossi did. This was Rossi's personal behavior, and Jiang Wuming should not have unleashed his butcher's knife on innocent members of the Middle family! The War God Hall has an obligation to seek justice for the innocently slaughtered clansmen!"
This was the statement from the Middle family.
The statement from the Bart family was identical to that of the Middle family, with only the word "Middle" changed to "Bart."
Following this, the Sato family of the Land of Endurance, Lawson of South Australia and his family, Salman of India and his family, and the families of Mark, Stanb, Mbama, Cassius, and Hughes from Europe almost simultaneously issued statements with identical content:
"Mark and others kidnapping Li Lianyi and hunting Jiang Wuming were all personal acts and had nothing to do with their respective families!"
"Shameless!"
"Tell that to a ghost!"
"Only an idiot would believe such an explanation!"
…
After the statements from the ten great families were released, they did not receive the support of global martial artists, but instead were met with various curses.
This was because Mark and others were the strongest individuals in their respective families, with higher status and prestige than their family heads. How could their actions be considered personal?
However—
What surprised global martial artists even more was the second announcement from the War God Hall.
"After investigation and verification by the War God Hall, Mark and the other ten individuals who kidnapped Li Lianyi were all killed by Jiang Wuming for their actions, which were considered personal acts and had no relation to their respective families.
Jiang Wuming should not have taken his anger out on the families of Mark and others and killed innocent people.
Although Jiang Wuming had made many meritorious contributions in the extraterrestrial war and contributed to the protection of humanity, his actions seriously violated the regulations of the War God Hall and must be punished!
As Jiang Wuming is from Dragon Country and had served in the Dragon Country Military Department, the War God Hall requests the Dragon Country Military Department to handle this matter, report the processing results to the War God Hall, and issue a public announcement of the processing."
This announcement caused an uproar in the global martial arts world!
This was a typical double standard, clearly biased towards the families of Mark and others, and it even tossed a hot potato to the Dragon Country Military Department!
The Dragon Country Military Department responded immediately: Jiang Wuming had left the Dragon Country Military Department, and his actions were unrelated to the Dragon Country Military Department. The Dragon Country Military Department would not be involved in this matter. At the same time, the Dragon Country Military Department demanded an explanation from the War God Hall regarding the kidnapping of Li Lianyi.
However—
After a night passed, the War God Hall did not release any new announcements, nor did it respond to the Dragon Country Military Department.
The next day was the same.
All parties remained silent.
Was this matter going to be swept under the rug?
For a time, this question filled the minds of almost all global martial artists.
The next evening, they received their answer.
The patriarch and strongest successor of the Litton family in South Australia were killed!
Once the news spread, it once again shook the global martial arts world!
"Tonight, I say good evening to the Litton family of South Australia."
—Jiang Wuming.
The young man's revenge was still ongoing!
